The most surprising moment, however, came when Martin read out a fan’s placard that read “Jai Shri Ram” aloud. He asked the crowd, “What does this mean?” and, with the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, he offered his own version of respect and admiration. The moment not only showed his cultural awareness but also strengthened his bond with the Indian audience, making the concert even more special.
Sacred Visit Before The Show
Chris Martin and his girlfriend, actor Dakota Johnson, were seen visiting the Shri Babulnath Temple in Mumbai before the concert. The couple was dressed in traditional Indian clothing.
Visiting the temple before the concert made their tour a little more adorable as they demonstrated respect for the culture and spirituality of India. The fans appreciated this gesture because it reflected the band’s deep appreciation for India and its rich heritage.
